The Beth Kipperman Student Advocacy Program

Volunteer Counseling Service > Services > Community Services > The Beth Kipperman Student Advocacy Program

At VCS, our advocates help families feel less isolated and more empowered to work with their school district to obtain the needed educational or behavioral services that can improve a student's ability to succeed at school. We know that the process can be confusing and daunting for families and so we take the time to learn about and fully understand what may be impacting the student’s ability to easily access the educational curriculum.

Started by Beth Kippperman in 2000, this program continues to help students reach their fullest academic potential and gives parents peace of mind about their child’s education.

Services Include

  • Initial consultations
  • Reviewing evaluations
  • Parent & school contact
  • Any meetings regarding the provision of special education services & related hearings
